M2 Ultra Lounge
Tuesday is a great day to recover from a less than stellar Monday at work followed by an evening of chilling at home. So get off your butt today and make your way to one of the many events listed on the Black Oak Nights Tuesday Nightlife Rundown.
Perspectives on Immigration Lecture Series – 12pm - Baruch College (55 Lexington Avenue): Young, black professionals, skip lunch and educate yourselves by attending Baruch College’s Perspective on Immigration Series. The series explores the culture of different nationalities and the roles they take on in American society. Tuesday’s lecture is titled “Chinatown Buses, All-You-Eat Buffets & an Expanding Transitional Labor Migration Circuit.”
Luxurious Tuesdays – 5pm
Negril Village (70 West 3rd Street): This free event continues to be the talk of the city. As one of the premiere afterwork parties in New York, Negril Village keeps the party going with great music, exquisite food and one heck of a crowd. You can try out the $7 rum punch all night, or give the coconut martini a try. I of course recommend sampling a few appetizers with some friends, as Negril Village serves up one of the best Caribbean menus in New York City.
Off-Duty Tuesdays – 6pm
Promenade (215 W. 28th Street): This party may be worth the $20, but you don’t have to pay it as long as you let them know you’re on the Seal Team guestlist. After you get in, you get to enjoy nothing but hip-hop, R&B and 90’s music all night long, making it well worth your precious afterwork leisure time. From 6pm to 8pm, you get 2-for-1 Grey Goose mixed drinks, and from 6pm to 7pm they offer $5 beers. For those of you who want something a little softer, you can take advantage of 2-for-1 Apple Martinis. Basically, if you feel like throwing down after work, Promenade is the place to be on Tuesdays.
European Party – 11:45pm
M2 Ultra Lounge (530 West 28th Street): If you don’t mind the late-night weekday start, you might want to check out M2 Ultra Lounge on Tuesday. There’s a popular little “European” gathering, so you get to enjoy the sights, sounds and customs of your international friends from Spain, Italy and the many other members of the European Union. Not everything about this party is “European.” While natives of EU may be in the building, the crowd will be extremely diverse and the DJ is slated to play nothing but hip-hop, R&B and house music.
Rebuild Haiti – 6pm
Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Ave. Brooklyn): Get your bowling balls out and head over to Brooklyn Bowl and help bowl Haiti all the way through its troubled times. Okay, so you won’t exactly raise a million dollars by coming to a bowling event, but every little bit helps. The suggested ticket prices are $10 or $15, and you can purchase the tickets online at brooklynbowl.com or AFHny.com. All proceeds benefit Architecture for Humanity’s long-term efforts to rebuild Haiti.
La Merde Afterwork Tuesdays
Cabanas (88 9th Avenue): Cabanas at the Maritime Hotel has been running of the best afterwork parties in New York City for a very, very, very long time. Ten years to be exact (or so they claim). How do they keep the party going? By sticking to the Black Oak Nights rule of party-throwing: K.I.S.S., aka Keep It Simple Stupid. The music is nothing but the best of Hip-hop, R&B, Old School and Soca music. The drink specials consist of $5 beers, $8 cocktails and $32 pitchers of Sangria. Best of all, there is no cover! What else do you need?
